This is one form of the creatures called "Nameless Things".

looks amazing, could you add a screenshot with an NPC next to it so we can see how big it is?
Omg I wanna see how it moves!
IF it moves.
It reminds me of the brainbug from the end of Starship Troopers for some reason.
This should be called, Mukkentacle.
Makes me wanna go up to it and club it to death...
this looks great but i cant remember "Nameless Thing" in lotr...is this moria creature maybe?
From a Gandalf quote:
"Far, far below the deepest delving of the Dwarves, the world is gnawed by nameless things. Even Sauron knows them not. They are older than he. Now I have walked there, but I will bring no report to darken the light of day."
I know some people won't like giving a shape to such (literally) "unknown" LoTR creatures, but I think it is great, and I hope it allows us to experience the word of Middlearth like never before. Especially because if they've gone ahead and made this... then it might mean we can actually travel that deep, which I think would be a totally epic thing to do with a higher level character.
